Using Opticks Powered by Vividata (Gender) Tools

Updated

Opticks Powered by Vividata (Gender) is Canada's premier gender-based behavioural database that offers 4,135 variables for those identifying as male or female across 48 population-based categories.

Female and male responders from Vividata’s syndicated study are used to generate the lifestyle and media profiles that pertain to each group. By separating the female and male behaviours, the data can be used to answer two important questions; which gender is most likely to purchase or partake in an activity, and which female or male group is likely to do it more.

Note: While EA as a company respects all gender identities, the current version of Vividata (Gender) currently only includes male and female genders. Limitations in reporting of other gender identities are primarily related to low sample sizes.
